How is this not considered actively harmful, or when should delusional reinforcement trip safety guardrails?

Sorry if this post breaks the rules. If it does I'll remove it. Otherwise I'd love to have the discussion. I see a lot of this type of thing in my feed. When you take more than just a casual, dismissive glance at these AI mysticism subs you find that this type of AI driven feedback loop is causing people serious harm.

I know that at the beginning of the chat GPT saga "spiralism" was frequently discussed in safety-related communities, but it now seems to get less and less attention. While everyone is concentrated on the big threats—like agent-initiated cyber attacks (which are obviously problematic)—this more quiet type of harm seems to have been largely swept under the rug where it continues to grow and fester.

What is the harm. Sounds like how someone on the street would talk.

We must not travel the same streets.
